Visualisations / Re: Trying to compare AVS versions: visbot archive seems messed up

grandchild found a possible reason for an UI issue which makes the fullscreen settings not remember the previously selected video mode. Might it be a kind of API problem? I tested it only with 3rd party hosts, grandchild said he can't reproduce it with an original Winamp.

Thanks DrO. I will make an issue in grandchild's github repo and see if there is any reply. If not, I will just use what works for me.

There is a download link for version 2.83 on the MusicBee site (outsourced to MediaFire).

AFAICS it works well too (WACUP 1.99.45.23528 32b + crash fix update; foobar2000 v2.25.7 32b + Shpeck [Winamp vis plugins wrapper] 0.3.7).

Visualisations / Trying to compare AVS versions: visbot archive seems messed up

When I developed my Ultra Visualizer (yay, took me several attempts but eventually I got it uploaded there), I found that AVS versions 2.81b and 2.81d don't display the SuperScope renderer which is required for my spectrums and phase display. This may have been a compatibility issue with Windows Vista+ (running Windows 10 here).

AVS version 2.82 works well. Never had any crashes with my preset, I guess the numerous reports were caused by different kinds of presets.

Now I got curious if any newer versions do exist. And this quickly started to confuse me. So there is apparently a version 2.83 in the archive of the visbot network. Which identifies as version 2.2 in internal dialogs. 

Also there are seemingly newer versions like: vis_chavs-2.9.dll / vis_chavsmod-2.9.dll / vis_chavsmod-2.9.1.dll ... which appear to be exact copies of that same 7-zip archive as the one I downloaded as version 2.83. 

For some reason, I guess all the files the visbot archive sends me are the same, actually with vis_avs-2.2.dll inside. In case this is a fault of my webbrowser, and you are able to download the correct files, please share them!

I looked hard for any other sources but only found either dead links or github repos with sources only.
